Green Coffee TradersWhole Bean 1LB. 100% Jamaica Jamaican Blue Mountain Roasted Coffee

My thoughts on Green Coffee Trader's Jamaican Blue beans, which I've had before - and the fact that Amazon sent me Kona beans instead. This was not the seller's fault, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the Jamaican Blue that I sent to the seller:I swear I never intended to become a coffee snob; I only wanted to attain the level of "Coffee Arrogance", with a mastery in coffee brewing and a secondary mastery in Mercantile Trading. I specialize in the exchange of coffee beans (for my personal use and enjoyment) in exchange for mutually acceptable currency.My first experience with the Jamaican Blue coffee beans instilled within me a palette for coffee with a permanent buff triggered by the elixir of the Jamaican Blue coffee bean. Consumption of the elixir of the Jamaican Blue bean provides me with +5 RELAXATION and +5 CONSTITUTION buffs. Offering the Elixir of the Jamaican Blue beans to others also provides a + 5 CHARISMA boost.Wizards, Witches, and Muggles alike aspire to attain the Jamaican coffee bean, the highest quality of which are obtained from a small region of the Blue Mountains on the eastern side of the island and grow at an elevation of 2,000 to 5,500 feet above sea level. Travelers and traders beware! The only merchant to be trusted to deliver the finest, authentic coffee beans is Green Coffee Traders. Their trade routes are swift and secure. One only need to be wary of the final handoff, from the shipper who must offer it to the Monolithic Monster of the Amazon who cares nothing of my satisfaction with the end product. The Monolithic Monster of the Amazon thrives on quantity, not quality. When this conglomeration of a corporate monster rears its ugly head and does not deliver as it should, one can only cower and run away - hoping to deliver a message to the forthright merchant whose initial shipment was offered to the monster. Unfortunately, the Amazonian monster lost its shipment within the mazes of the Forest of Fulfillment.My complaint is not with thee, kind merchant and seller. My feud lie with the horrid Amazonian monster, spawn of the two demons “Ordering” and “Shipping”. It is this evil offspring which has curtailed the successful completion of my order and your mission.Kind merchant, please consider trading the lovely story above for a quantity of The Magic Blessed Blue Beans of Jamaica. The beans are considered magical by those possessing the ability to appreciate their scent, their beauty, and the wondrous elixir which yields from its beans.[p.s. To readers: I'm getting my Jamaican Blue beans. YAY!]Warm Regards,Keith, Bearer of The Blessed Mug of Coffee Arrogance

WOW! These beans are smooooooth and a great flavor. No acid aftertaste. Just delicious coffee.

This is the most non-acidic, smoothest Jamaican Blue Mountain (JBM) I've ever had. Perfectly roasted; rich & large fresh beans, no bitter aftertaste. I've been drinking only JBM for the past 35 years. By far, this is the best brand of all the ones I've had & the most moderately priced. From now on, I won't buy except "Green Coffee" brand. I highly recommend it.

On a recent Cruise through Central America, I collected coffee from all of our stops. Most of the locals will point you to their best coffee brands of which they are quite proud. When I got home I did a blind taste test of them all and while they were all very good the JBM was the smoothest and tastiest coffee. I have had JBM before and remember its smoothness and delicious taste.When it came time to buy some more coffee I decided, that's it, I don't drink that much coffee anymore so I may as well drink the best and ordered some JBM off of Amazon. While this was good, it was not great and I was a little disappointed spending that much and getting what I would call an above-average cup of coffee. I will continue to seek out where I can find the best JBM. Don't get me wrong, this had some of the aroma of JBM but not a lot of the flavor and it was more bitter. So I will chalk this up to a learning expense and continue my search for the best-tasting JBMPositives:- Nice cup of coffee,- Has some of the same smells as JBM- Convenient to buy, don't have to travel to JamaicaNegatives- Not as good as the coffee that I purchased in Jamaica- Just as expensive (about $40/lb)- Not as smooth and lacking some flavorConclusions:Again, I was a little disappointed when I brewed this as I was hoping it would be the same quality of coffee as what I purchased while in Jamaica. I will continue to seek out better quality. I have a hard time justifying $40/lb for something that is not outstanding.In my opinion, this coffee is on par with other coffees from Central America.4 Stars

I went to Jamaica back in the 1980's for a reggae festival and fell in love with Blue Mountain coffee while I was there. This product helps keep those memories alive.

I purchased this as a birthday present for my fiancé. She had never had blue mountain coffee and she and I are both connoisseurs. I've had several pounds of actual blue mountain coffee that a friend of mine used to pickup in Jamaica when she was doing her annual mission trips. She warned me that even in Jamaica you need to know who to buy from and what to buy to get the real thing. THIS IS NOT JAMAICAN BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE. That being said, the beans are also over roasted, and this stuff is as bitter as a cup of Maxwell House. It does not have the full body or complex taste typically associated with JBM either. The description is also ambiguous as to how it's roasted, in the brief description up top it says its a medium roast but down in the item description is says city roast. Those are two very different things and unfortunately this coffee is the latter. I thought to myself when ordering there's no way anyone would city roast JBM coffee. And rest assured they didn't as this isn't JBM coffee to begin with. Now I know why the seller has a no return policy on this stuff. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Very dissatisfied. This ITEM IS NOT AS REPRESENTED. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Way to ruin a birthday present.

I think Jamaican Blue Mountain, still in bean form, is the best coffee in the world that I know. It’s grown only in the lush mountains of Jamaica, and imo it’s worth every penny. The aroma, and taste fills you with anticipation for the first sip, and continues until your last.

Not the real thing. Flavor is not there.
